“If something like that would ever happen, it would enhance my opportunities,” he said.

After all, he pointed out, many former alleged and convicted steroid users are on the Hall of Fame ballot.

“My mistake was (in) 1987,” he said. “How many years ago was that? It’s time to get over it. You have to understand, if I made the mistake that I made, that would be the last thing I’d ever do, is make a mistake like that (again).”

“I had nothing to do with altering statistics of baseball, and these guys, that take PEDs—wouldn’t it be nice if you could ask Babe Ruth the same question, or Roger Maris the same question or Hank Aaron, who won’t talk about it,” he added. “I’d like to hear what their response will be because those are the guys who lost their records because of supposedly steroids.”

“If something like that would ever happen, it would enhance my opportunities,” he told Boomer and Carton.
